Fashioning Felt





On view March 6–September 7, 2009 - COOPER HEWITT Museum/NYC



This exhibition will explore the varied new uses of felt—an ancient material, believed to be one of the earliest techniques for making textiles. Made by matting together wool fibers with humidity and friction, felting requires little technological expertise and is an extremely versatile material. The exhibition will begin with historic examples of felts, showcase innovations in handmade felts, and feature contemporary uses of industrial felt in a range of fields, including product design, fashion, architecture, and home furnishings. http://www.cooperhewitt.org/EXHIBITIONS/Fashioning-Felt/
